Democrats cry foul on Trump’s dismissals of Vindman and Sondland

Former Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland was fired Friday, and former National Security Council official Alexander Vindman was reassigned. Sen. Dianne Feinstein called the removals “as clear a case of retribution as I’ve seen during my 27 years in the Senate.”

.@SpeakerPelosi on Vindman firing: “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman has proven to be an American patriot: on the battlefield when he earned a Purple Heart, and in the House trial when he spoke truth to power. His brave testimony showed America that right still matters.

Allow me a moment to thank—and this may be a bit of a surprise—Adam Schiff. Were it not for his crack investigation skills, @realDonaldTrump might have had a tougher time unearthing who all needed to be fired. Thanks, Adam! 🤣 #FullOfSchiff

….was given a horrendous report by his superior, the man he reported to, who publicly stated that Vindman had problems with judgement, adhering to the chain of command and leaking information. In other words, “OUT”.
